Chicago: Palmer House vs. Fairmont

Let's say that an exec room at Palmer House runs about what the Fairmont's standard room does, and you're going to an event located between the two (more convenient to the Fairmont). People whose taste you trust suggested Palmer House, though, which appears to be a lovely historic hotel you'd probably dig, especially after its renovation.

You're unlikely to use exec floor privileges much due to said event (which is at the Hyatt Regency, a hotel I did Not Like), but no lower-category rooms are available.

You've previously stayed at the Fairmont and loved it, but that was also a long time ago, so it's changed.

InsideFlyer was created by travelers, for travelers. Here you can discover and share your experiences related to travel and frequent flyer programs with business travelers, leisure travelers, infrequent flyers and road warriors alike.

InsideFlyer is a privately funded venture based in Colorado Springs, CO (affectionally—the House of Miles). We’re a small diverse group of experienced frequent flyer experts, travel community builders, technologists, and friends of the flyer who want to help you learn to be an expert traveler. We believe that learning about frequent flyer miles should be as fun as travel itself.
